Doctors versus Insurers
By Staff Reporters
Despite the success of entrepreneurial doctors – the number of doctors who enter private practice are in decline.
The Survey
For example, according to a survey by the “Physicians Foundation”, 89% of respondents believe the traditional model of independent private practice “is a dinosaur soon to go extinct.”

So we ask; what do you think?
Are physicians “throwing in the towel” and leaving private medical practice?

Thank you so much for highlightling this article!
Many of its points are true, although I do disagree with a couple of things, s.a. the income of physicians (where I work docs are paid much less) and the future of the concept of the EHR (I don’t think that doctors will eventually succomb to becoming data processing clerks as the article states).

Are Doctors Tired of Practicing Medicine?
Sandeep Juahar, who wrote an excellent warts-and-all account of his medical education in “Intern: A Doctor’s Initiation”, is now old enough to be having a midlife crisis.
In a recent New York Times essay, he may or may not have been projecting his own current feelings of disillusion onto the entire medical profession.
He writes about the sorry state of medical practice today.
